Local Quiz -Words Connected With Geography

[jbncer]

Stuck on 4 clues. The answers are either names of landmarks, towns or villages. For example Trade in Kent (4) which is Deal.
1. The White Knight had a recipe for preserving this. (5,6)
2. Hero/antihero? With a dark secret. (9)
3. Not stupids (8)
4.Semi-precious stone on a mountain (9)

Also would you agree with me that the clue Strangely not across the North Sea (7) is Holland?

Thanks in advance for any help on these.
